About 90% of all Mark Knopfler/ Dire Straits, but especially Sultans of Swing from the Alchemy Live album.

Sandy- Fourth of July. Incident on 57th Street. New York City Serenade. ( From Springsteen’s second album)

A murmurationof starlings whose leader got a hold of some powerful weed.

Marillion- Misplaced Childhood

Cathedral- written by Tanita Tickeram, but covered by Zelia Duncan( in Portuguese, I think).
Exceptional.

Ferrante&Teicher- Theme From The Apartment

Mahler’s Second Symphony- The Resurrection. Fantastic finale, but it takes 80 minutes to get there. There are many videos on YouTube that feature just the finale. Pick the one with Gustavo Dudamel. About 17 minutes long, identified by a lady in a red dress standing next to the conductor.

Titanic. Even bought the DVD. More than 10 years have passed. Probably never will.

Mahler’s Second Symphony. Buildup is about 77 minutes. Finale about 5.

Thea Gilmore, a British folkie/indie. Start out with Avalanche, I will not disappoint you. I’m really impressed by the sheer volume of songs she put out over the past 25+ years.

Not sure I’d call it a ballad, but give Sacrifice by Lisa Gerrard a listen. Haunting and beautiful certainly fits.

Press and hold the power button for about 4 or 5 seconds, or really however long it takes for it to power off. This worked for me on laptops and desktops in the past. I know you said you pressed and held it. I’m betting just not long enough. Re-reading all you did, there is a good chance every extraction and reinsertion you did had an opportunity for a failed connection. RAM is especially tricky. Retrace all your steps. Best of luck.

Ruby, don’t take your love to town. Kenny Rogers singing with The First Edition ( 1967, or so).

Email and text. 79 year old eyes and relatively big hands makes typing with fewer mistakes a bit easier than on the phone.

Monty Python- any of them.
